LUNCH WITH KOZLOFF

Last week I had the great pleasure of having lunch with Dr. Eugene Kozloff one of the world's most respected scientists in the world of marine invertebrates.....he is also an authority on plants of the northwest coast, baroque music and a long list of other areas of study.
Dr. Kozloff was my professor of marine zoology at the University of Washington Friday Harbor Labs in 1975. He retired from active research last year at age 93. As always he continues to be the great teacher, and was the inspiration for me to end up teaching marine biology at the Seattle Aquarium.
In the image below you can see that he is still instructing me...This time a lesson on the stupidity of ever getting on that motorcycle...as usual his lesson fell on deaf ears....
